What is an easement?
An easement refers to a portion of land that is part of a specific lot, owned by one individual, but grants another person the right to access it. Common examples include the right to cross the land for rear block access or for essential services such as drainage or sewerage.
Within the context of an easement, there are typically one or more parties who benefit from it, as well as one or more parties who bear the burden of it. The land holding the advantage of the easement is referred to as the ‘dominant tenement,’ while the land that carries the burden of the easement is known as the ‘servient tenement.’
